~~Is ProRes 1200 higher quality than FastRes 1200?~~

For the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M426fdn printer, is ProRes 1200 higher quality than FastRes 1200?

~~I'm computer illiterate. I don't understand https://superuser.com/a/1453651, it uses too many esoteric cant!~~
~~I use a HP LaserJet Pro MFP M426fdn printer at work. It offers 4 settings for Print Quality, just like the different printer below.~~

1. Is ProRes 1200 higher quality than FastRes 1200?
2. The higher the LPI, the better the quality, correct? Thus ProRes 1200 (180 lpi) is the best?
~~I haven't gotten my eyes tested since COVID. But documents printed with ProRes 1200 (180 lpi) look WORSE to me than FastRes 1200!!! How's this possible?~~

I use a HP LaserJet Pro MFP M426fdn printer at work. It offers 4 settings for Print Quality:
* ProRes 1200 (132 lpi)
* ProRes 1200 (180 lpi)
* FastRes 1200
* 600 dpi

I haven't gotten my eyes tested in some time, but to me, documents printed with ProRes 1200 (180 lpi) look *worse* than FastRes 1200. How's this possible?
I'm computer illiterate. I found [this answer on Stack Exchange](https://superuser.com/a/1453651), but I don't understand it because it uses too many esoteric cant.
